…ow Newt will destroy Obama in all debates. I know Newt can point to his accomplishments while he was Speaker of the House, including balancing the budget and major welfare reform. And, I believe Newt is the closest thing to Ronald Reagan out there right now. Notice, I said, “closest.” There is no Republican running right now even close to Ronald Reagan.

There are many people who believe that it is the primary cause of the Civil War: i.e. did the states, not the Federal Government have the right to determine whether to be slave or free? Ronald Reagan believed in the amendment more than anything else, as did Thomas Jefferson.
